Scrolling smoothness

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

Some phones exhibit choppy scrolling, especially when navigating long web pages when multiple apps are running in the background. Rate this thread to express how you smooth scrolling feels on the OnePlus 3T under such conditions. A higher rating indicates that scrolling is always buttery smooth, even when you're reading a 10,000 word article on "how to kiss a girl".

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

I've had Nexus 6P for almost a year and OP3T is a lot smoother in basically every task imaginable.

Very smooth not lag or jitter that I've noticed at all.

It also depends on the browser. UC Browser for instance has the smoothest scrolling I've seen. UC Browser is also very fast.

Overall I am very satisfied with the OP 3T scrolling, best I have ever had except maybe the iphone (my other previous phones have been Note 4, iPhone 5, HTC One X, Samsung Captivate plus currently my work phone is an iphone 6).

My gripe is more with developers not exactly the phone or maybe its with Android. The thing is that for instance Google Earth scrolling and moving around smoothness in the OP3T is crap compared with what you get in an iphone. In this case I am pretty sure it is Googles fault. I thought that android phones could not have the scrolling smoothness, speed and slowing down effects as the iphone and that it was a coding limitation. However, take a look at for instance Ringdroid for Android. The level of scrolling smoothness is amazing, this proves to me that it is possible to have scrolling quality better than on an iphone yet flagship apps like Facebook or Twitter do not have it. Its kinda frustrating....

For the best scrolling smoothness, you will have to switch to AOSPA ROM. Much better than stock OOS and any other ROM I've tried.

Sultanxda's Lineage OS 14.1 with F2FS file system than AOSPA even more smooth.

Firefox Focus is also a very smooth and fast browser. It's by design stripped to its core so it doesn't have a lot of features, but definitely worth it as a secondary browser.
